Neneh Cherry has teamed up with some of today’s most exciting female artists for new album ‘The Versions’.
The collaborative LP features covers from her expansive catalogue by an all female line-up of musicians, including Sia, Robyn, Anohni, Greentea Peng, Kelsey Lu, Sudan Archives, Tyson and others.
Speaking about the collection, which features the pre-release single Buffalo Stance (featuring Robyn and Mapei), Sia says: “Neneh was my favorite artist when she hit the scene. I saved my pocket money for red filas and dreamt one day we would meet.
“When I was struggling with my mental health in my early twenties, I somehow ended up in their house being taken care of as if I was one of their own children,” adds the star, who covers Manchild on the LP.
“I called her husband during a suicide attempt, who had been mentoring me as an incredible music producer, and they gave me all the love I could have dreamt of.
“I owe them a huge thanks and would sing ‘a-b-c’ for them if they asked. Neneh, my very first queen, Cameron my bonus dad, I love you forever amen!”
‘The Versions’ is out June 10 and available to pre-order/save.
